  Hello there Yuu! Most banks have a minimum requirement of two years for self-employed individuals. Your application might be declined despite submitting the documents because you didn’t meet the required tenure for business. We’re sorry for this.

  Hi Sha! You can still apply even without a credit card. Owning a credit card only helps East West (and other banks) to check your credit history, which is their basis on the approval or rejection of your loan 🙂

Hi, I applied for a loan two months ago. As I’ am been checking with the agent I asked help with.. its still in process. How long is your process for loan approval? I have submitted everything they needed to process my loan. I do not have credit card.

  Hi Cristina! Having a credit card is among the requirements you need to comply with when you apply for this facility. Any lacking requirements could cause delay or rejection of your loan application.
